Govt Plans to End Short Prison Sentences Could ‘Unleash Crime Wave’

UK government plans to do away with short prison sentences could result in tens of thousands of convicts on Britain’s streets, “unleashing a crime wave” on citizens, a think tank report has warned.

Civitas’s report published Monday predicts that the government’s proposal to abandon custodial sentences of fewer than six months for certain crimes in favour of community service orders and curfews would mean approximately 34,000 criminals would be let loose, 30,000 of whom would be repeat offenders.

 
Earlier this month Justice Minister David Gauke said there was “a very strong case to abolish sentences of 6 months or less altogether,” marking the Conservative Party’s departure from its traditional stance on incarcerating criminals in favour of so-called “smart” justice.

From what I can tell, they already have a crime wave problem which started with carte blanche acceptance of "refugees."

I don't see a crime wave happening. They are releasing non-violent, minor offenders- the guy carrying a butter knife in his lunch box or the one with too many points on his license for speeding kind of stuff. They have been a police state for a while and have made many asinine things crimes.
